'Hospital admissions certainly improving.
On the other hand, for anyone interested in a balanced position:
During 2020, hospital admissions rose from around the beginning of October to the middle of November, steadily but surely. They then decreased from the middle of November to the beginning of December, again steadily. They then increased to the middle of January. Figures available on the ONS website.
So, for anyone who is genuinely interested in how this is going to go, the experience tells us that a short term trend is not necessarily indicative of the longer term.
How is ignoring the vaccines, and ignoring that we were in & out of restrictions & harder restrictions "balanced"?
Yes there is an element of uncertainty, but we're in a completely different position to last year, and pointless trying to make silly comparisons.
